Viking squads fall to Cougars

The Lakewood boys and girls track teams played host to Lansing Catholic Tuesday night in only their second duel meet of the season.

Like many sports teams around the area, the Vikings have had to deal with numerous cancellations.

Against the Cougars, the Viking boys fell by a score of 87.5-48.5, while the girls lost 85-52.

"We lost a lot of scorers on our boys team from last year, so we have a lot of new athletes," Lakewood coach Jim Hassett said. "We have a lot of girls returning, but we need to get them back into running shape, which has been hard since we haven't been able to run outside much.

"We have been running inside, but they can't run as hard indoors."Earning first-place finishes for the Lakewood men were Clarence Sanderson in the 110-meter hurdles (18.62), Nate Kauffman in the 300-meter hurdles (46.34), Jake Waldron in the pole vault (8'0"), Mike Carr in the high jump (5' 4") and Kyle Kneale in the shot put (38' 11.5").
